Saquon Barkley's Injury Scare: Eagles RB Sports Neck Collar
20 Sep
Summary
- Saquon Barkley left Sunday's game with a stinger injury.
- He was later seen wearing a cowboy collar on the sideline.
- Backup RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley will handle duties.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was forced out of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans due to an injury. Initially reported as an arm injury, it was later specified as a stinger. Barkley exited the contest early in the first quarter, causing concern for the team and its supporters.
Upon returning to the sideline, Barkley was seen wearing a cowboy collar beneath his jersey. This protective equipment is typically used to guard against erratic neck movements, indicating that his injury might involve his neck, separate from the initial arm injury diagnosis.
With Saquon Barkley's potential time on the sidelines, the Eagles' running back responsibilities will now be managed by Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. While Bigsby has more rushing experience, Shipley may see increased opportunities, particularly in passing plays.
